Earlier in 1944, before he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, Uncle Tom turned 22 on the day I was born (May 9), and I always felt a special bond with him because we shared a birthday. We also shared a fondness for nature and vegetation. (For many years, he worked at a plant nursery in Fort Salonga). The ancestral home, 3 Dune Court, won't be the same without him. May he rest in peace.
